For a facsimile or reproduction that has an edition statement or statements relating to the original manifestation as well as to the facsimile or reproduction, record the edition statement or statements relating to the facsimile or reproduction.

Record any edition statement relating to the original as an edition statement pertaining to a related manifestation (27.1).

(2.5.1.4) Recording edition statements

Transcribe an edition statement as it appears on the source of information. Apply the general guidelines on transcription given under 1.7[3].

LC-PCC PS: LC practice/PCC practice: If a resource lacks an edition statement but it is known to contain significant changes from other editions, supply a brief statement in the language and script of the title proper and enclose it in square brackets if considered necessary for identification.

If the resource consists of multiple issues or parts, including accompanying material, and there are edition statements relating to the whole as well as to parts, record only the edition statements relating to the whole resource.

Make a note giving edition statements relating to issues or parts if they are considered to be important for identification (2.20.4.3)

Best practices for music cataloging[4]: A common case in music is when a score, cataloged together with parts, bears the statement "Score" (or its equivalent). Per this rule, do not treat such a statement as a designation of edition, as it does not apply to the entire resource.
Note: LC is not following this recommendation:
2013560113 250 Score & parts, Full score.

(2.5.2) Designation of Edition

A designation of edition is a word, character, or group of words and/or characters, identifying the edition to which a resource belongs.

In some languages the same term or terms may be used to designate both edition and printing.
A statement detailing the number of copies printed is not a designation of edition.

In case of doubt about whether a statement is a designation of edition, consider the presence of a word such as edition, issue, release, level, state, or update (or its equivalent in another language), or a statement indicating:
° a difference in content
° a difference in geographic coverage
° a difference in language
° a difference in audience
° a particular format or physical presentation
° a different date associated with the content
° a particular voice range or format for notated music
as evidence that such a statement is a designation of edition.

(2.5.2.2) Sources of information for designation of edition

Take designations of edition from the following sources (in order of preference):
° the same source as the title proper (2.3.2.2[5])
° another source within the resource itself (2.2.2[6])
° one of the other sources of information specified under 2.2.4[7]

(2.5.2.3) Recording designation of edition

Apply the basic instructions on recording edition statements given under 2.5.1

If a designation of edition consists of a letter or letters and/or a number or numbers (expressed either as numerals or as words) without accompanying words, add an appropriate word. Indicate that the information was taken from a source outside the resource itself as instructed under 2.2.4[7].

If more than one designation of edition is being recorded, record the statements in the order indicated by the sequence, layout, or typography of the statements on the source of information.

Best practices for music cataloging[4]: The most common designations of edition in music resources fall into category g), "a statement indicating ... a particular voice range or format for notated music."

Treat a statement indicating a particular voice range that is not grammatically linked to the title, other title information, etc. as a designation of edition, whether or not it includes the word "edition" or its equivalent.

For the latter type ("format for notated music"), refer to the list of formats given at 7.20.1.3[8] for guidance in determining whether the statement in question fits the scope or not.

Vocal scores and chorus scores are special cases inasmuch as they have dual identities: as a format of notated music (manifestation), subject to this rule, and as a type of arrangement (expression).

Do not treat other statements of arrangement, transposition, etc. as designations of edition; transcribe those statements as statements of responsibility, per 2.4[9]. When in doubt, treat the statement as a statement of responsibility.

(2.5.2.4) Designation of edition is in more than one language or script

If a designation of edition appears on the source of information in more than one language or script, record the statement in the language and/or script of the title proper. If this criterion does not apply, record the statement that appears first.

(2.5.2.6) Designation of edition integral to title proper, etc.

If a designation of edition is an integral part of the title proper, other title information, or statement of responsibility, or if it is grammatically linked to any of these, record it as such and do not record a further designation of edition.

A parallel designation of edition is a designation of edition (2.5.2.1) in a language and/or script that differs from that recorded in the designation of edition element.

(2.5.3.2) Sources of information for parallel designation of edition

Take designations of edition from the following sources (in order of preference):
° the same source as the title proper (2.3.2.2[5])
° another source within the resource itself (2.2.2[6])
° one of the other sources of information specified under 2.2.4[7]

(2.5.3.3) Recording parallel designation of edition

Apply the basic instructions on recording edition statements given under 2.5.1

(2.5.4) Statement of responsibility relating to the edition and (2.5.5) Parallel statement of responsibility relating to the edition

(2.5.4.1) Statement of responsibility

(2.5.5.1) Parallel statement of responsibility

A parallel statement of responsibility relating to the edition is a statement of responsibility relating to the edition (2.5.4.1) in a language and/or script that differs from that recorded in the statement of responsibility relating to the edition element.

In case of doubt about whether a statement of responsibility applies to all editions or only to some, or if there is no designation of edition, record such a statement as a statement of responsibility relating to title proper (2.4.2[11]).

When describing the first edition, record all statements of responsibility as statements of responsibility relating to title proper (2.4.2[11]).

Any subsequent designations of edition, designations of named revision of edition, etc. should follow a comma in ‡b (250 ‡a and ‡b are not repeatable).

Record statements of responsibility relating to the edition applying the basic instructions on recording statements of responsibility given under 2.4.1[10].

If there is more than one parallel statement of responsibility relating to the edition, record the statements in the same order as the parallel designations of edition to which they correspond; if that is not applicable, record them in the order found on the resource.

Any subsequent designations of edition, designations of named revision of edition, etc. should follow a comma in ‡b (250 ‡a and ‡b are not repeatable).

(2.5.4.4) Statement of responsibility in more than one language or script

If a statement of responsibility relating to the edition appears on the source of information in more than one language or script, record the statement in the language or script of the title proper. If this criterion does not apply, record the statement that appears first.
